Hi Paul,

Try these:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B7:B203="Paul G"),--(C7:C203<""))
=SUMPRODUCT((B7:B203="Paul G")*(C7:C203<""))

or if apart from non-empty the value in column [C] must be text...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B7:B203="Paul G"),--ISTEXT(C7:C203))
=SUMPRODUCT((B7:B203="Paul G")*ISTEXT(C7:C203))

Regards,
KL

I am trying to use the formula =Sumif(B7:B203,"Paul
G",(COUNTIF(C7:C203,"*"))) to count the number of cells in the "C" column
which contains text and are in the same row next to my name in the "B"
column. This formula does not work. Ay suggestions?

Thank you, paul
